Скачать или смотреть Breaking Barriers in Africa | My Journey to $20M in Retail & Advice for Aspiring Creators 🇿🇦✨

In Cape Town for MIP Africa, I sat down with FAME Week Africa to share one of the most important messages of my journey—how a little girl from Los Angeles became the first Black woman to build a licensed character brand to reach over $20 million in retail sales.

In this full interview, I open up about:
✨ How Afro Unicorn became a global retail brand
✨ The challenges and triumphs behind building a licensed character as a Black woman
✨ The power of representation in media, animation, and consumer products
✨ My advice to African creators who are ready to build, launch, and scale their own IP
✨ Why my motto “All Gas, No Brakes” continues to push me forward

To every African creator watching this:
Your ideas matter. Your stories matter. Your culture matters.
And the world is ready for what you’re building.

Thank you, Cape Town and FAME Week Africa, for welcoming me with so much love and for giving me the space to speak life into the next generation of storytellers and brand builders.

Let’s keep breaking barriers.
Let’s keep making history.
All Gas. No Brakes. Ever.
